We can’t wait for Reverence Valada

Wow! Is it really that time again, already? The first line-up announcement for the 2016 instalment of Portugal’s Reverence Valada has left us grinning like Cheshire cats. Here’s Ian Robertson to explain why:

I had no idea, when I saw my beloved Killing Joke at the Roundhouse in London just a few weeks ago, that I’d get to see them again in the Portuguese sunshine this September.

That they are amongst such esteemed company, is a credit yet again, to event organisers Nick Allport and Jason Fletcher.

Here is a sample of some of the delights in store for enlightened travellers between the 8th and 10th of September…
